As of Thursday afternoon the Yankees’ bullpen just got even scarier after they signed Adam Ottovino to a free agent contract of 27 million over three years. He’ll join an already ridiculously talented group that includes Aroldis Chapman, Dellin Betances, Zach Britton, Chad Green, Tommy Kahnle, and Jonathan Holder. That’s some kind of depth.
The Blue Jays are going to see that group a lot this year, as they always get their fair share of games against the Yankees as AL East division rivals. While it won’t be fun trying to collect hits in the late innings, it could be a chance for the Jays to see how this aggressive bullpen approach works for New York, and how it could be used to their advantage.
